How does the game fit the theme?
Don't Trust The Game is a short rage platformer built around one simple rule:

Trust nothing.

Platforms lie. Obstacles lie. The level itself lies. What looks dangerous might be harmless, what looks useless might be the only way forward, and sometimes, the thing you're supposed to trust is exactly what you shouldn't.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

I didn’t like it at all. The idea wasn’t good and the game wasn’t beautiful at all...

Just kidding 😂! I actually really loved the idea. It was creative and so much fun. Great job!👍👍👍

Fun game, the boulder part made me laugh hdssdkjsdkj. Would've like to see more levels, I specially liked the mirror one.

Developer

Glad you liked it

Simple, quick and fun!! Great job, the only thing I'd change is making it a bit harder

Developer

Rogers !

Such a fun experience, reminds me of old flash games!


Developer

Lol thats true.

Submitted

Great troll platformer!

Developer

thank you

Submitted

Completely rage inducing and had me cackling in my living room. 10/10 would play again. 

Developer

Happy my game did what it was meant to do

Submitted

I still don't trust you. I don't think I actually won :O
Overall a fun experience for a jam. Could be improved with some cool art or better sounds but that is not really the point of this game. 

Developer

Got it

Well done. These kind of gag games can be annoying/frustrating, so it's hard to find a balance. I think you did a great job with that. 

The look is simple but cohesive, everything is polished and consistent.

Small notes:

- Highlight was the boulder double fakeout. 

- The best mechanic/stage from a pure gameplay perspective was the moving spikes, that was a genuinely very fun platforming challenge beyond being a 'trick'.

- I think the 'mirror' stage might have been better if the mirrored platforms were totally invisible.

Developer

I tired making the platforms in the mirror lvl invisible but it was hard to navigate. Other than that thanks for the advices.

This game made me laugh.  Good work!

Glad you enjoyed it.

Developer

Euh... Ok :)

Submitted

Super creative but frustrating (in a good way)

Submitted

Great Game! I got 20 deaths until I saw the mirrored platforms.  Perhaps as an extra feature it would be really funny, especially for a rage platformer, if your character decided to move on its on every now and then just to annoy the player. Its a really good game, well done!

Developer

Oh great idea tnx for the feedback

Submitted

It's not a rage platformer, it's an absolutely cute platformer. I enjoyed it!!

Developer (1 edit)

lol tbh the only truly raging aspect in it is the level 2..

Submitted

That was fun and cool! You got me on press R. I really thought it is smth else, not a restart :D

Developer(+1)

Glad you enjoyed it.

Submitted

Pretty fun, could have been harder. Especially from a "rage platformer" I expect more difficulty. Still, 6/10

Developer

Noted.

Submitted

Quick and simple - I love a good "ragebait" style game and had a lot of fun with this one!

I hope you had a blast making this, great work!
